| Summary |
"In Far Bolivia: A Story of a Strange Wild Land" by Dr. Gordon Stables is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the remote wilds of Bolivia, featuring characters like young Roland and Peggy, who embark on daring escapades filled with danger and discovery. Set against a richly depicted backdrop of the Amazon jungle, the narrative explores themes of bravery, the beauty of nature, and the clash between civilization and the unknown." "At the start of this tale, readers are introduced to the vibrant setting of the Amazon River and its surrounding forests. We meet the cheerful, hardworking duo of Jake Solomons and Burly Bill at a sawmill, who are soon joined by young Roland and Peggy. Their lively breakfast gathering is interrupted by echoes of the wild, setting the stage for their ensuing adventures. As they embark on expeditions through the lush, beautiful, yet perilous landscapes, the characters encounter feisty wildlife, experience the camaraderie of friendship, and find themselves facing unexpected challenges, such as getting lost and the lurking dangers of predatory animals. This opening portion establishes an enticing premise for an action-packed story about adventure and exploration in the heart of a 'strange wild land.'" (This is an automatically generated summary.)
